Creating Change Through Connection: Leadership Lessons from Season 4 with host Rebecca Coren
Cassandra Crowe-Jackson is the Chief Experience Officer at Sharp HealthCare with over 20 years of leadership experience in the industry. She is passionate about human connection and its power to create meaningful impact.
In this episode, Cassandra shares her best practices for daily meaningful connection with team members, as well as ways to make the most out of virtual connection.
1. Increase Your Visibility Supporting Quote Cassandra Crowe-Jackson: âWeâve been talking about leadership visibility, because even our leaders, our executive team, weâve been told youâre working from home from now on. So how is it that youâre going to be able to connect with your team, especially, you know, in a 24/7environment? So, you know, we do have our entity or facility leadership or the CEOs and the executive teams rounding just to say to that team, âThank you. I know youâre here.â Our CEO, as a matter of fact, did midnight rounds at one of our facilities that are more heavily impacted because you think about those nurses and doctors that are working that weekend night shift. They arenât getting a lot of human connection.â
2. Incorporate Personal Check-inâs Supporting Quote Cassandra Crowe-Jackson: âIâve had to have a ton of virtual meetings. So when I start my virtual meetings and begin, you know, I always try to find the one question about you. It will be something more of my icebreaker in terms of, âWhat was the best thing that happened to you yesterday?â Because that kind of stops people for a moment. Because theyâre prepared to tell me all about their work and their role and what they can do to help me or what I could do to help them, but when I have taken that pulse and that beat, just to say, âWhat was the best thing that happened to you?â Or, âWhat made your day?â Or, âWhat were three things you were most grateful for yesterday?â It kind of says, stop a moment and letâs connect here as humans first, and then we can talk business.â
3. Look for the Silver Lining Supporting Quote Cassandra Crowe-Jackson: âNow for every hour of time, you log in that says you exercise, you are contributing one meal. So theyâre taking that to mean five hours of walking is one meal for four people or something like that. So itâs again saying, âKeep doing what youâre doing, stay healthy, but while youâre staying healthy, youâre going to be helping people eat.â San Diego has a lot of homelessness and a lot of hungry people, as does everyone in the country, and I can see feedback in the chats about, you know, what people are doing and how they feel connected to purpose still to our, our vision and our mission.â

Perhaps one of the good aspects of 2020 was our ability to learn to become more flexible. Learn to live a more agile and flexible life. Build in the ability to change plans. Flexibility also builds resilience.
2020 has taught us how precious life is and why we should celebrate more big and small âmomentsâ of our lives.
The importance of being grateful cannot be overstated. Whether for our health, our family & friends, our jobs, or our ability to serve. Think about developing a simple âtriggerâ each time you wash your hands to think about what you are grateful for. Here are easy ways to practice gratitude at work.
